Prom: One of the most important moments in every woman's life?

Really? I'm not so sure about that...
I think a lot of us spent prom drinking and watching old movies just like sweet Chris.
So this week the remaining nine designers had to team up with girls from a New Jersey Catholic School to comission their prom dresses.
The episode opens with Victorya saying she misses Elisa. Don't fake the funk Victorya...we know that you don't have a soul.
Heidi announces the challenge and in classic Christian Haterade-drinking mode he says "I think prom is tacky and gross." Not that he's wrong, but does Christian really like anything besides himself and his hair products?
Highlights included:
Kevin's prom picture, complete with hoop earrings, lmao.
Ricky crying about how his mom used to make prom dresses for his sisters as though she were now dead.
Ricky talking about how he dated a girl in high school and made her prom dress...who was more confused?
Victorya's high schooler telling her that she was with Victorya because she got last pick, but don't worry, she still likes her. It reminded me of choosing high school (insert sport here) teams. Victorya is the fat kid with glasses and asthma.
Sweet P saying she had a great time at her prom, if you know what she means *giggle*.

Meh. I didn't understand the excitement. Maybe it looked better in person? It was not all that flattering, the color was bland...I just don't get it...

I thought the dress was pretty cute until you put all those hideous multi colored jewels on the front. I would've much preferred tonal button detail, but I'm a sucker for buttons. Oh yeah, and I HATE bubble hem. Let it go!

Very classy. I was suprised. Nice color. The problem remains that this looks like any of a handful of typical promwear designers, ABS or Jessica McClintock or Tadashi or Cache...whatever...its basically like trying to find a Starbucks. Throw a stone and you'll hit three. Your laugh is adorable and Mozart-like (a la Tom Hulce anyways).

Ugly, slutty, now let's talk about the dress. Just kidding...but seriously you had to go and say those parting words to forever cement your straightness in the public consciousness didn't you? Wow, I got a hug from Heidi Klum, and as a non-gay man, that's not the worst thing in the world is it fellow non-homosexuals? Look at my boner!
I would almost say you didn't deserve to be kicked off this week if not for that...

It's looks better in this picture then it did on the runway. I really liked the back, but the front didn't quite make it. Cute colors, awkward construction.

Man, you must've been on your period this week. You were a negative nancy. Your dress was a mess. Basically, you did a couture runway piece for a typical American body, and frankly, that's just mean. There's plenty of ways to flatter a full figured woman and you really just made the poor opinionated girl look bad...

This dress was actually my favorite. Bold, funky and very cute!

Your dress was the worst. Poorly constructed, sloppy, ugly color. You should've been in the bottom two and gone home, but it seems like they keep you around week after week for your lost puppy personality alone.

So old looking. It wasn't ugly, but it was totally wrong for the tone of prom. Misfire.

Afterward:
Am I the only one that thought having the highschoolers on the judging runway with the designers was mean? Some of these girls liked their dresses and were judged to be the worst designs. Kevin's girl looked crestfallen and they're sitting there looking at her and saying it looks cheap, etc. Couldn't a teenage girl easily confuse criticism of their outfit with criticism of them? No young woman needs to be pageant-ified if they didn't choose that life (because let's face it, so many actresses, singers, and models are teenagers who make their living on their looks, but that doesn't mean the average girl should be subjected to those standards). I just hope those girls knew what they were getting into and had thick skin...
